I just thought someone associated with Xavier should mention that. Moving on.
Xavier cannot win when Paul Scruggs has a bad night
Scruggs was 1-14 from the floor and turned the ball over five times. That leads to a 31 offensive efficiency and a Xavier loss. Without Scruggs scoring (or doing much else) Xavier’s offense struggled mightily. X got 10 from Dwon Odom, 24 from Jack Nunge, and 11 from Colby Jones. That should be enough to get a win. When Paul Scruggs is doing nothing, it isn’t.
Jerome Hunter needs to stop shooting threes
Hunter was 3-6 inside the arc, grabbed six rebounds, and chipped in a steal.
